ARMENIA: BITTERSWEET FREEDOM

Chronicles the struggle for survival of this former Soviet Republic since its independence
following the break-up of the Soviet Union. In the last few years this land-locked country
has become deprived of most basic necessities as a result of a blockade of its borders, a
devastating earthquake, hundreds of thousands of refugees, and armed conflict with
neighboring Azerbaijan. In addition to documenting these tumultuous events, the video
features interviews with numerous Armenian residents and government officials and also
shows relief efforts conducted by Armenian-American groups in health, housing, energy
and education.
